Why the hell isn't this guy out in the world kicking ass, killing Alliance, and insulting the mentally deficient players that he gives quests to?

The Alliance failed at ThatOr... Eastern Plaguelands was merely a setback

Being insulted by this guy was the best part of EPL.

Bah. You see on his comments how he survived the Alliance. "...And that incudes opossums. Imbecile!" What does opossums do? Feigns death, of course.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what not, but despite being marked as a hunter trainer he does not actually train people...he does offer respecs, though.

We love that that this guy is back, don't we idiots?

Before WotLK was announced I had always imagined that this guy would be part of the final battle, along with a whole host of other people Arthas murdered in his mad rise to power. He may not have been there but I can at least assume that his tactile genius went into helping Sylvanas bring him down - hence his current place in the Undercity instead of the Plaguelands.

UPD: Please, note! This is Nathanos's old outfit, green-yellow-silver one that he had prior to Legion. I have no idea about his new black costume, and, tbh, not interested in it at all.

Basically, this outfit combines parts of green and yellow , plus some other items. However, list of appropriate items for some slots isn't full, you can find more at the „Same model as“ tab on item's pages (FYI, this comment was added before Wowhead implemented that feature).Hint: you probably can substitute chestpiece, belt, gloves and boots with parts, as they share pattern, but in more 'dull' color. Plus, those gloves and boots models matches original Nathanos's ones better.Also, this set is mostly cloth and leather, so you, sadly, can't get it as suitable transmog for your hunter.

For any newer players who don't understand the excessive imbecile/idiot/etc. jokes on this page.

Originally, this Nathanos existed in EPL at "The Marris Stead" (around 22,67 of the EPL map). He would offer you man quests, including 肥胖的巨虫 -- which has been unedited despite being given to a random Argent Dawn soldier (Note the lack of concern for your life). 纳萨诺斯·玛瑞斯 was his past-self in Caverns of Time's Durnholde Keep.

He was the Champion of the Dark Lady, and when you reached around lv55-56 in vanilla (a big feat, but still a good 4-5 days away from 60 for most players) she would personally send you to him, where he would basically go "Hope you're less useless than the last fools she's sent my way." I am not going to give his full lore here, but as far as I know he and Sylvanas knew each other before undeath, and she trained him (being they're both archers and all) and I always was curious that Forsaken couldn't be Hunters pre-cataclysm, considering he was basically a Forsaken Hunter and all.

There was also an Alliance quest to assassinate him, which seems to have failed (with indication that he feign deathed, which isn't unlikely of a Hunter after all).

He was also pretty loveable. He went from hating you and wanting you to die to ultimately giving you a quest to enter Stratholme and kill that giant abomination boss (Ramsey or whatever) who apparently was the one who personally killed Nathanos in the first place, leading to a heartfelt conclusion where he actually didn't hate you in the end, even saying that you are useful... At least, that's how it plays out in my dreams or so.

Honestly, I think the fascination with him is that he actually seemed to care about you. Unlike NPCs like Nazgrim, who you saw as a Sergeant in Grizzly Hills, a Legionnaire in Vash'jir, and a General in Jade Forest - and yet he still wouldn't recognize you by name despite you spearheading all of his efforts - Nathanos is someone who immediately knew how useless you were, gave you impossible (read: group) quests to solo, and then eventually got a small amount of respect for you and is someone who would definitely know you the next time you saw him. Real questing at its finest, this was.

Many of his amusing remarks can be found on his wowhead comments page of his original NPC: 纳萨诺斯·凋零者

Huh, I was kinda hoping to see him on Draenor. I guess there is still time for him to show up. Who knows? Maybe this guy will just fade into nothing more than a bookmark from Vanilla./shrug

This guy, Nathanos Blightcaller, was a legitimate +10-man alliance raid (You could MAYBE have done it with fewer, more well geared players) but he had some bothersome abilities. You'd have to fight Nathanos Blightcaller together with his two elite plague hounds, with a each a fair amount of health as well, some people even used a tank for each of them, the damage they did wasn't too hard to handle though. What this guy also did, was to summon a huge amount of 'skeleton, and if not dealt with, would escalate QUICKLY. If you didn't have the dps to finish Nathanos off fast enough OR enough AoE damage to hold the summoned skeletons under control, you'd be overwhelmed by these guys. Nathanos himself did heavy melee/ranged damage and used phsycic scream to make melee flee in fear. At times he'd also use multishot that did AoE damage to the raid. His health pool, considering that he was an elite, even back in Vanilla was pretty large and one of the reasons you'd want a raid.

Alliance was given a quest called "Order Must Be Restored" where they'd have to kill Nathanos Blightcaller to complete the quest:

"Do you know how many ranger lords exist in this world? How many human ranger lords have ever existed?

Nathanos' accomplishments were unprecedented. He was a tactical genius, responsible for Alliance victories spanning a decade of conflict.

And now... the champion of the Forsaken.

No. This cannot be. Order must be restored.

Gather an army, <name>. Return to the Plagues with your army and destroy the Blightcaller.

I wish you luck, <name>. Truly, you will need it for this battle."

Nathanos was the first and the last human to ever becoming a Ranger Lord - a high position within the high elves ranks and was very difficult to achieve! While still alive, he was the disciple of Sylvanas Windrunner who were the former Ranger-General of Quel'thalas, who're now the Banshee Queen of the Forsaken. Nathanos himself was, as stated in the quest, a tactical genius and knew that turmoil and darkness was about to enclose onto Lordaeron. With this knowledge he sent his younger brother Thereas to the kingdom of Stormwind where he knew he'd be safe. As the vile scourge hit the lands, he'd defend himself at his house, but was slain by the mighty abomination Ramstein the Gorger. He then became a mindless servant to the Lich King, until he was freed from the grib by the Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner. He then took the name Blightcaller and was given the title Champion of the Forsaken. After this, he would spend his unlivingness at Marris Stead recruiting horder players/soldiers to deal with the animal corruption, the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade.

The Alliance found him when SI:7 sent their five best agents to investigate Marris Stead, however, four never returned and the fifth that returned to bring the news ended up dead in his bed three days later. When the alliance knew who were unliving there, knew the threat that this man possessed to the alliance and wanted him destroyed.

Note: His model has been updated, but his stats - in my opinion - does not match the position he holds, sadly.
